Andrew
Andrew, a 45-year-old Insurance Broker from Talbot Green, was drawn to The Traitors after becoming a fan of the previous season. His application was part of a personal journey of self-discovery and growth. Traditionally risk-averse, Andrew viewed the show as an opportunity to challenge himself and step out of his comfort zone, a departure from his usual ‘Steady Eddy’ life.
Anthony
Similarly motivated, 45-year-old Anthony from Birmingham, a Chess Coach, saw the strategic elements of the game as a real-life version of chess. Having never applied for a game show before, he felt that The Traitors perfectly resonated with his analytical mindset, prompting him to apply.
Ash
Ash, a 45-year-old Events Coordinator from London, brings a sense of wanderlust and a thirst for adventure to “The Traitors.” Having lived a life characterized by constant movement—shifting between cities and countries—Ash found himself in a phase of stability and routine. While content with his current life, he yearned for a new challenge, something to break the monotony.
Aubrey
Aubrey, at 67 and a retired Shop Owner from Loughborough, Leicestershire, was inspired to apply simply by watching the show and thinking, “I could do that.” Claudia Winkleman’s announcement about the opening of applications was the final nudge he needed. For Aubrey, it was more than just participating in a game show; it was about seizing an unexpected opportunity at this stage of his life.
Brian
Brian, a 33-year-old Photographer from Glasgow, applied for the show due to his interest in mystery and whodunnit games. His family tradition of playing Werewolves every Christmas and his curiosity about testing his abilities in a similar real-life scenario led him to “The Traitors.” He also saw it as an opportunity to see how he would fare in a challenging and unfamiliar environment.
Charlie
Charlie, 34, a Mental Health Area Manager from Bristol, was captivated by the first series of the show.

For Charlie, the adrenaline of the game, coupled with the prospect of the prize, was a significant lure.
Charlotte
Charlotte, a 32-year-old Recruitment Manager from Warwickshire, found the challenge and uniqueness of The Traitors refreshing. Her decision to apply, initially made on Christmas Day, was a step towards embracing a thrilling and challenging experience, something different from the ordinary.
Diane

Evie
Evie, a 29-year-old Veterinary Nurse from Inverness, saw her application as the final item on her “30 things before 30” list. The show’s filming location, just 30 minutes from her home, and her desire for a new adventure as she approached a new decade in her life, prompted her to take the plunge.
Harry
Harry, the youngest contestant at 22, is a British Army Engineer from Slough. He viewed The Traitors as a life-changing opportunity and a unique experience. The potential of winning a significant prize added to the allure of participating in the show.
Jasmine
